FROM THE RECORDS: AN ADVENTURE IN TEACHER TRAINING

*

Here is a new approech te the training of teachers for a new kind of teaching,
It is a book for the progressive teacher and the pupil teacher, as well as for
those who are teaching teachers.

The book tells how a group of teachers learned to use play activities and ma-
terials with children of elementary school age, iI is a verbatim record of the
course of training, offered to Play School teachers by the Summer Play Schools
Association,

Since teacher training begins with teacher selection, Mrs, Lambert outlines the
qualifications needed in teachers for this particular type of program, and de=
tailg her interviews with prospective teachers and the process of selection, The
second section of the book records the actual training sessions which consisted
of informal discussions and first-hand experiences with Trips, Blockbuildin
Shopwork, Pointing ond Clay, Dramtization and Music, The sessions on Dise
line and Behavior, Group Discussions and Family Backgrounds answer many ques~ -
tions which the progressive school teacher meets in the classroom, The third
section consists of the teachers’ own diary records of Play School groups rang-
ing in age from five through ten-year-olds, These groups parallel 6 progressive
school program except that they do not include academic subjects,

 
  

AN ADVENTURE IN TEACHER TRAINING has been enthusiastically received by leaders

Tn modern education. We believe that progressive school teachers especially

will find it not only stimulating but practically helpful in actual techniques
with activities and mterials.

In order to make it possible for the book to be in the hands of teachers them
selves as well as on library shelves, it has been published in paper covers at
the low price of sixty cents a copy. Quantity prices will be furnished on re-
quest,
We hope you will bring this book to the attention of your teachers and pupil
teache ys. :
